"Emme I'll be back in 30 minutes Okay? Your class today is an hour and a half so I'll be here before you're done. It's like you don't even know I'm gone!"
"But I want you to watch meee" she complains. "Babe I have to go somewhere that has to do with work. It'll be quick I promise you. I'll buy you food after Okay?"
"Okaaay"
I turned into the parking lot and parked and took Emme to her dance class.
"I love you" I say and she kisses me on the lips which I feel guilty about "I love you too!" She says and as I'm about to leave class her teacher stops me. "Oh hi Ms. Monica! What's up?" "Emme! She's been doing very well lately. For her age that is. She's qualified to dance for the dance competition coming up next month in Vegas!"
"But she's still so young. Aren't the comps for like people a bit older than her age?"
"The youngest we have for competitions are 4 years old and up. Emme knows what she's doing when it comes to dance. She's been a very good listener and she's been here for about 2 years remember? so she's ready! Up to you if you'd like her to be in it. It'll help her to get into better competitions later on as she grows up and lead into even bigger things. It's good she's starting so young"
"Hmm..well I don't know. What if it's too much pressure for her?"
"She won't be alone though. There's more kids in the class who are already up for it. They're all dancing this one routine we've been practicing for a while now. She'll know."
"Okay...so you said next month? What day?"
"We will give you a whole schedule of it. It's a three day competition. Of course she'll only perform once a day then later come for the awards if you guys don't want to just stay watching the whole competition for 8 hours.. the hotel is MGM which will all be paid for."
"Oh wow. Okay. Well can I call you tomorrow? I'll ask Emme if she's up for it"
"Sure no rush but I just need to know by next Wednesday!"
"Okay then. Thank you Ms. Monica"
"No problem!"
This is a good opportunity for Emme. I've always dreamed about having my daughter doing competitions more. She could dress up in the certain costumes they have. Perform in front of a larger audience and I could record the whole thing and root for her and see my baby doing her thing. She loves to dance.
I don't know why but it made me immediately think of Leah. I miss her and I don't know why. I'm not even attached to her but I guess last night just changed me a bit. She cares for me and that makes me feel happy about myself. Although last night made me forget things, the shit that made me depressed is hitting me again. But I'm not as sad as yesterday which is alright I guess.
After my errands I went back to buy her favorite, Chick-fil-A. Then I went to in n out since I was craving for a burger too. Then I went back to her studio to wait for the remaining time of her class. After her class we left.
"Finally home!" Emme yells out as I open the door walking into the house. "Yeah baby haha. Here's your food. Do not spill"
"Thanks Mommy"
"You're very welcome"
She walks to the couches and pushes the table to the couch.
"Good girl" I giggle. She knows she'll spill if she eats from the couch so she puts the table right by the couch. I follow and sit by her and turn on the tv and lean back for a few seconds to go on my phone. Then I remembered.
